Nine members of the family of Henry D.

burg, Pa, and Misses Ella and BERTHE Meats
Of Ringgold. Md, are lying very ill at Mrs.
after eating dinner and it is supposed the
coffee they drank at that meal poisoned
them. They were taken with vomiting fol-
lowed by headache and stomach pain. A
physician has been in almost constant at
tendance, but has been able to ease their
sufferings but little. It was first thought
the poison had been administered in the
eatables, but on examination of them and
of the dishes in which they were served no
poison or trace of it wes found. A theory
that the glazing of the crooks had scaled of
and was the cause of the sufferings had been
spelled by examination.

General Logan came to New Mexico in the
frontier exodus of 1847 and identified him
self with the army of Mexicans and Indians.
He was popular with all classes, and many
old residents remember him and regret his
death. Two years ago in q conversation
with Maj. Dickey, now commandant of this
post, Gen. Logan said that he attributed the

ing about he became fetigued, and, having
his men build temporary shelter, fell

A secret circular has been Issued by dis
trict assemblies Nos. 81 and 136, Knight of
Labor. of Chicago, as boycott against Ar
mour d Co. It is quite lengthy, reciting the
stock yard troubles; brands Armour and the
other capitalists as relentless, grinding mo-
nopolists, and refers to the attempt to COM
pei the knights to sign an iron-clad agree
ment reuouncing allegiance to all labor Or
CARNATIONS. Then follows an appeal to the
werkingmen, which says in part, "iet this
domineering autocrat know that while he
may be enabled to employ 'scab' labor,
American society will refuse to eat his
meats, when to do it is at the expense of
human liberty and common jnstice. We do
not believe that his meat is as good as it
used to be. We find that it is unpalatable,
indigestible, put up under such oircum-
stances, and are satlefie1 that every loyal
worker will share in that opinion. We
therefore ask the assistance of all our
friends"

legal; that the bondholders under the Sec |
ond mortgage are annexed creditors. The
amount covered iss SIS, coo, 600. The court |
has also ordered sale of the road under the |
